As First Round's disporting survey reveals, men in these startups, again mostly surrounded by other men, don't seem to recognize that.

Each painting features a single frankfurter in a languorous pose — reclining, reading, daydreaming or otherwise passively disporting like a model in a fashion magazine layout.

Named after a song from "The Threepenny Opera," this astounding, autobiographical slide show consists of about 700 images of friends, lovers and Ms. Goldin herself disporting themselves with shameless abandon in the bohemian squalor of the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

The softly tailored jackets; the sensual knit sweaters; the penumbral colors; the mannered insouciance of models disporting themselves on the runway; the summery legerity of a passage of white garments; the sense of a particularly romantic form of gay eroticism, soon to merge with mainstream culture, can be laid to Mr. Armani as part of his legacy.

In 2013, Titchmarsh, then aged 64, responded to complaints that older women were discriminated against on television by stating he would like to hear less "whingeing". "They don't complain in their early days when they are disporting themselves on sports cars", he stated in an interview with The Observer. This drew criticism from media figures who had been protesting against the difficulties faced by older women in the media, including from Miriam O'Reilly, winner of an age discrimination case against the BBC.

The interior is notable for the staggering mid-17th century plasterwork in the ceilings of the Great Hall and drawing room, which have heavy wreaths and disporting cherubs. The ceilings are barbaric in their excesses, and the figures are relatively poorly modelled, although the undercutting is breathtaking. Not all the moulding is of stucco: there are elements of lead and leather too. The staircase is of the same period with a coarse but vigorously carved acanthus scroll balustrade and square newels with vases of flowers on top.

A border of flowers, richly embossed in gold, runs round the dress circle, and has a tasteful and elegant effect. The panels of the boxes in the front of the first circle are ornamented by designs, in the style of Watteau, placed in gilded frames of fanciful workmanship. … The front of the slips and gallery are distinguished by neat gold ornaments, relieved by handsome medallions. The proscenium, which, like that of Covent-garden, is shell-form, is painted in compartments, where the loves and graces are depicted gaily disporting.

Without Teniers's influence it is unlikely that Watteau would have developed his typical style and subjects. In particular the village feasts of Teniers had shown the way for Watteau in the development of his fêtes galantes, which featured figures in ball dress or masquerade costumes disporting themselves amorously in parkland settings. In the 18th century, Watteau was commonly described as the 'French Teniers', thus showing that the comparison between the two artists contributed to Watteau's success. Other French painters of this time who were influenced by Teniers include Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, Étienne Jeaurat and Jean-Baptiste Greuze.

An agreement was made in 1912 with the Boer War Memorial committee for Watts to supply the status in its finished state for £1760. Owing to the difficulties of casting in Australia, the plaster model was sent to Parlanti Bronze Foundries England, and the statue reached Australia in 1917. The ability to cast a sculpture of this size was acquired by previous commercial sculpture work for the International Exhibition held in Brisbane during 1897. This was in the form of life-sized equestrian statue of a knight in armour for the brand Champion's Vinegar, whilst the other item is a group of cooks who are disporting themselves over a giant tin of Coleman's mustard.

"I was surprised at the variety and colourfulness of the molluscs left in the little pools and puddles on the rocks after high tide. It was like a flower garden - lovely coloured actiniae and other coelenterata, the variously coloured sea urchins and sea stars, many one- or two-shelled molluscae, and between them bushes of algae, corallinae and zoophytae with great numbers of crabs of all shades disporting themselves, created a splendid picture." Many of his finds he later described in Die südafrikanischen Crustacean (1843) and Die südafrikanischen Mollusken (1848).

Lovers in a landscape Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot was a prolific painter who painted genre scenes, sporting scenes, landscapes, portraits and Christian religious subjects. He painted fête galantes and fête champêtres, which were inspired by the work of the French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau. These works typically featured figures in ball dress or masquerade costumes disporting themselves amorously in parkland settings. An example is the Fête champêtre with ladies seated by a tree and figures from the commedia dell'arte (Christie's London, South Kensington 30 October 2002 lot 86).Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot (Attributed to), A fête champêtre with ladies seated by a tree and figures from the commedia dell'arte at Christie’s Van Reysschoot was much in demand for his sporting conversation pieces.

Sabor p.201 The innovative centenary Bayreuth Ring, directed by Patrice Chéreau, did away altogether with the underwater concept by setting the Rhinemaiden scenes in the lee of a large hydro-electric dam, as part of a 19th-century Industrial Revolution setting for the operas.Holman, p. 381 For the scene with Siegfried in Götterdämmerung, Chéreau altered the perpetual youth aspect of the Rhine Maidens by depicting them as "no longer young girls merrily disporting themselves; they have become tired, grey, careworn, and ungainly".Schürman, Hans (1980), An Annotated Synopsis based on Patrice Chéreau's production of Götterdämmerung, Bayreuth Festival. Published by Phillips as a programme note to 1980 recording of the Festival production. Since this production "the assumption of unrestricted interpretive license has become the norm". For example, Nikolaus Lehnhoff, in his 1987 Bayerische Staatsoper production, placed the Rhinemaidens in a salon and had their lament at the end of Rheingold played on a gramophone by Loge.Sabor p.204 The 1876 premiere cast of the Ring included Lilli Lehmann (centre) as Woglinde. She was the first of many significant singers to play one of the Rhinemaidens.
